A North Texas wedding photographer has been awarded a $1.08 million defamation verdict against a married couple who the jury found posted false statements in a social media campaign after being unhappy about a surprise fee.
A Dallas County jury found Friday that social media posts made by Neely and Andrew Moldovan against photographer Andrea Polito amounted to.
In an interview with NBC 5 in January 2015, the Moldovans said that Polito's office manager told them unless they paid the fee for a cover their photo album would be forfeited.
In the 2015 interview with NBC 5, Moldovan argued "An album comes with a cover.
The Moldovans said in 2015 some of the comments, or "likes," attributed to them were actually coming from fake profiles.
“Neither of us ever hoped her business is ruined, nor do we even want that,” Andrew Moldovan said in 2015.
Jurors found the Moldovans liable for defamation, disparagement, and civil conspiracy, and awarded punitive damages. »
